BPS Office of Turnaround & Transformation

The Office of Turnaround & Transformation supports the district's highest-needs schools as they work to accelerate positive student outcomes. Just as all students can achieve, every school can become a great school! 

Who We Are
Every successful school Turnaround or Transformation effort is the product of hard work and collaboration between a broad group of school and district leaders, teachers, community members, and families.

What We Do
Turnaround & Transformation works with leaders across the district to coordinate support for schools designated Underperforming by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and schools seeking to make transformative improvements outside the turnaround process prescribed by law. We focus on guiding school leaders through the Turnaround and Transformation processes, including planning, goal setting, monitoring, and demonstrating and documenting successes. The Office also supports district and school efforts to engage school communities in improvement processes and to promote transparency and partnership at all stages.
